AFAIK, the fs.file-max limit is a node-wide limit, whereas "ulimit -n" is per user.
The ulimit is a frontend to rusage limits, which are per-process restrictions (not per-user).
You are right; I sit corrected. :)
(Except for number of procs and number of pending signals, according to "man setrlimit".)
Then 1024 might not be so low for ulimit -n after all.
